You’ll have a great time, but don’t take our word for it…

I’ve just returned from a wonderful, amazing week at Wakatobi and plan to return. Your service and surroundings were extraordinary, and the diving sublime! A week I will always remember — thank you!

We had another amazing stay with you and will almost certainly be back for our 4th stay. All the staff are so friendly and helpful, and we love coming here. Extra gratitude for the front desk staff who were so helpful, the dive guide who was wonderful — keeping us informed and safe — and dive boat staff who were all extremely helpful and listened to our requests for gear setup. They work so hard and we appreciate all they do. The entire restaurant staff were wonderful. The cake they made for my 500th dive was so very much appreciated! We always find it so wonderful that they memorise all our names — it’s a very appreciated touch.

Every single person at Wakatobi has been exceptional! We loved everyone!!! Special thanks for the tour to see the local wildlife and bats, to all the wonderful dining staff and chefs, the terrific front desk team, and everyone in housekeeping and grounds. They all made it a joy to be here. Also special thanks to the team in Bali who met us and facilitated getting a lost item back to us.

Everything at Wakatobi was exceptional — all of the staff, from the dive crew to the dining team, building and grounds to the attendants facilitating our flights. I was floored when my request for coconut water was delivered with a fresh coconut cut right from the tree each day! Also so grateful that when I left my toiletry kit behind at the airport in Bali, you had almost everything I needed there in the bungalow. Loved that everything was eco-friendly, and also that you managed to find my kit and get it to me a few days later. I was amazed by the diligent attention to maintaining the grounds. Our dive guide was great — we found we could swim to many of the sites. We also loved learning about Tomia from one of the staff, and the front desk team were always pleasant and attentive.

Friendliest people I have ever met. I felt like the staff were members of my family. The dive team was professional and very safety-conscious. The dive boats are roomy and very stable in choppy seas.

When we stayed at Wakatobi resort, we were overwhelmed with the thoughtfulness of the resort’s planning, consideration of guest needs, and the personal touch of the dive and service staff. Arriving on the Pelagian for a week showed that Wakatobi’s planning and thoughtfulness was only the beginning — the Pelagian crew raised everything to new highs in personal attention, education, and good cheer. All standards have been far exceeded. The reefs themselves and the atolls are world class, as is the staff. There can be no better diving experience than to come to Wakatobi and the Pelagian.

Many thanks for the wonderful stay in Villa 1. We felt completely at home from the very first second and enjoyed every single moment. We will be writing a very detailed review on TripAdvisor about our fantastic stay. Many thanks to the entire team!

The resort, experience, staff, dives — everything was amazing and above expectations, which were already high. Thank you sincerely for the experience.

Wakatobi may be the best-run resort we have ever been to. Add to that the best snorkelling we have ever done — including the Great Barrier Reef, Tahiti, Belize, Hawaii, etc. — and we had the trip of a lifetime. We are already talking about when we will be able to return. The service at every level was excellent: the accommodation, the dive guide, the equipment, the food — everything! This was all thanks to very friendly and competent people at every level. You have set a standard of service that others strive to achieve. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Totally outstanding in all aspects. The Pelagian was absolutely amazing.

Everything was wonderful! This was luxury diving at its finest. The entire staff was so accommodating and friendly, the food was great, the boat was very nice and spacious, and the diving was always great. We will be back!

Wakatobi is the most considerate dive resort imaginable. The attention to detail, the thoughtful attention to divers, snorkellers and guests is outstanding. The physical layout, meals, and service all reflect the highest ecological and personal standards. We are now spoiled by Wakatobi’s level of excellence.

Many thanks for making this Wakatobi dive trip the best vacation we have ever had! The week on the Pelagian was fantastic. The crew was exceptional! The food on the Pelagian was excellent — many choices and great variety, with abundant snacks! The captain brought us to the most beautiful dive spots in the world.

We then spent several days at Wakatobi Resort. The service was the very best — everyone learns and remembers your name. The food was first class, and the accommodations were amazing. The dive experience was unsurpassed! Our dive guide kept us safe and shared the most beautiful dive locations in the world with us.

Our diving experience was wonderful on both the Pelagian and at the resort. The staff took care of everything — our diving equipment was always set up in advance, we always received help putting everything on, and after each dive everything was properly stored. Prior to each dive we received a detailed and very enjoyable dive orientation. I also received a lot of help with a new camera system, with exceptional instruction from the resort’s photographer. The day prior to departure our dive equipment was washed, dried, and brought to our bungalow. We hope to return to Wakatobi — truly a diver’s dream paradise!

An all-around wonderful vacation. The staff were very attentive and genuinely friendly from the heart — not fake or rehearsed. The food was excellent, and even for guests who can’t eat everything there was always something nice available, including special orders which we especially appreciated. The boats were well-maintained, equipped for almost anything, and with a really clean washroom area. The dive centre and camera room were simply great. The boutique has everything you need.

Very lovely stay. Loved the outdoor shower and the very well stocked toiletries, which I was happy to see were plastic-free. The behind-the-scenes effort in timing and organisation was very impressive — efficient but not rushed. The décor and feel of the rooms is authentic but with modernity and comfort in mind. I enjoyed that there is no TV anywhere. Food was lovely. Overall, we had a wonderful time, would definitely recommend to others, and hopefully return ourselves!
